Osukannon Setsubun Mamemaki at Osukannon temple

※Setsubunis the day before the beginning of spring in Japan.Roasted soybeans (called "fortune beans" (福豆fuku mame)) are thrown either out the door or at a member of the family wearing an Oni (demon or ogre) mask, while the people say "Demons out! Luck in!" (鬼は外! 福は内!Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!) and slam the door.[4] This is still common practice in households but many people will attend a shrine or temple's Spring festival where this is done.
